Hillnian's Electric Well and Its
Virtues.?
DEAR ADVERTISER : I have been
off to the "Rocks that Shock" at
Hillman, Ga., and missed the visits
of the dear old ADVERTISER more
than I can say.
My daughter, Lillian, has been
iii with rheumatism since March,
but was better in June. She grew
much worse in July and was so
low, I despaired of her life at one
time. When we left home she had
not boen able.to help herself any,
or get out of bed alone, for nearly
a month.
We staid three weeks at Hill
man, and when we left she could
get up out of bed, or chair, and
walk alone, and still continues to
improve. We rode each day from
Mr8. John T. Overton's to the new
Southside Sanitarium to take the.
electric treatment from the "Rocks
that Shock." It is an electric
room, dug between the electric
rocks, and a sky-light at the top
where the blessed sunlight can
come through.
The patients eit in large rockers
surrounded with pillows, with their
feet to the rock; or lie on a cot
and put their feet to the rock; or
sit or stand and put the head,
hands, back, or feet, as the wish
may be. Then again we form a
circle by joining hands, and the
ones at the extremities of the cir
cle put each a hand on, the rock.
After a short while the electricity
begins to enter; a tingling rans
through the hands and arms, and a
sensation of great heat pervades
the system ; then in a short while
we begin to shake. My daughter
and I shook for hours after the
circle was broken. Some could not
shake, but they felt the beneficial
effects o? the electricity in their
systems.
The new Southside Sanitarium
of which Mrs. Overton has charge,
belongs exclusively to Mr. Andrew
Hillman, a Baptist minister, and
an estimable gentleman. He and
his excellent wife and interesting
children often came over to the
shaft to visit us.
We had a very pleasant time in
conversation with friends; books
and papers to read and comment
OD, writing and work made quite a
?oc'ii'- passing ' of the golden
hour? Vwe lingered to take
electricity ?nd. gain health and
strength. The dry current I con
sider muoh the best for sufferers
from rheumatism.
It was bright and cheerful with
the sunlight nearly every day
while we were there. After the
terrible storm of the 27th ult. the
creek got in a very angry frame of
mind and rose several times. The
situation of the shaft is quite a
pretty one, nestling at the foot of
the mountain with a lake just in
front, and th? hills and valleys of
the surrounding country covered
[with crops of corn and cot!on just
beyond.
The hotel is on the top of the
I mountain. It has forty-four rooms
and is a fine looking building. Mr.
Hunter has charge of it and the
electric shaft on the north side.
He had his shaft free for a couple
of months, excepting a charge of
$1.00 a week for a cot and 15 cents
a week for each chair. Now, how
ever, he has resumed the old price
of 50 cents a day for treatment, the
same as at the new Southside San
itarium. That is a damp current J j
and he keeps the rock wet and
sanded floor damp. They claim
that the electricity prevents any
one from taking cold from the
dampness. For my own part, how
ever, I prefer the dry current.
There were several visitors from
Edgefield up there, and they called
around to visit us at the shaft. I en
joyed renewing their acquaintance
and had some very pleasant days
while there, and regretted to leave.
The waters from two of the mineral (
springs can be shipped, and they }
sometimes ship as much as a car j
load at a time to Chicago. Anti
febrile water will lower the temper
ature 1 of fever patients very
quickly; Anti-nansea water will
prevent sickness. Both of them
and the Magic, a composition of
sulphur, iron, and electricity, will | j
all act beneficially on the kidneys,
liver, lungs, and heart. It is a
great place and many wonderful
cures attest its remedial powers
Go up aud try it, Mr. Editor, and
Mr. Hillman will give you a wei
come and a learned talk about
electricity. Ask for Mrs. Overton's
hack and it will take you right to
her pleasant home.
Respectfully,
Mrs. J. J. BUNCH.
Silver and Cold as Currency.
Mr. Preston, acting director of (
the mint, has prepared and pub- \
lished a table showing the ap- j
proximate amount of gold and f
silver money held by the principal ^
The stock of gold is held as fol- c
lows : United States. $604,000,000 f
Great Britain 550,000,000
France 800,000,000 ]
Germany. . , 600,000,000 (
Russia. 250,000,000 j
The stock of silver held is as
follows : Unite State $615,000,000
Great Britain. 100,000,000
Germany. 700,000,000
Germany 211,000,000
Russia 60,000,000
Of the above silver money the
United States has $538,000,000 full
legal tender and $77,000,000 limi
ted tender, Great Aritain has no
silver full legal tender, $100,000
limited tener. Shejalone has the
gold standard payments ; she alone
has no full legal tender silver
money. France has $650,000,000
full legal tender and $5,000,000
limited. " Germany,. $103,000,000
full legal tender; $108,000,000
[limited tender. Russia, $22,000,000
full legal tender and $38,000,000
limited tender. *
Limited tender means a tender
in the. United States of only $5.
The fractional parts of a silver
dollar are a limited - tender. All
standard silver dollars are a tull
legal tender, 412 1-2 .'grains, niue
tenths fine.
The ratio between gold and legal
tender silver in all the above coun
tries except the United Sattes is 1
of gold to 15 1-2 of silver. In the
United States it is 16 of silver to 1
of gold.
The following countries have the
double standard, gold and silver
Wnited States, France, Belgium,
Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Spain,
Netherlands, Turkey and and
Japan.
Those with the gold standard are
Great Britain, Germany, Portugal,
Austria, Scandinavien Union,
Australia, Egypt, Canada and
Cuba.
Those with the silver standard
are Russia. Mexico, Central and
South America abd India.
The table shows that the aggre
gate amount of gold is $3,582,60c,
000, and the aggregate amount of
silver is $4,042,700,000.

Mr. Joseph W. Barnwell, the

two political factions, engaged in
a warm but friendly altercation in

case in this city to-day, astrangei
would be ready to swear that the I
storm of August, 1893, had ob-1

this State by substituting for

ROYALTY ON PROSTRATE,
Pledged to Make Good the State
Bonds.
Newsand Courier. ~ .
COLUMBIA, S. C., September 9.
;'I won't tojdo it." That is the way
Governor Tillman expresses him
self, and usually when he says such
things he means it. He means that
he considers the State pledged to
raised $75,000 a jear from phos
phate royalty toward a sinking
fund for the new issue of State
bauks, and that he will not consent
fco any arrangement by which such
revenue will not be raised.
It would not, thinks, be keep
ing faith with the bondholders. He
svould rather let the fields lie idle,
and if such occurs there will be no
violation of contract or any bad
Faith on the part of the State. This
morning, after stating what I un
lerstood to be the position of the
phosphate men, Governor Tillman
sonsented to give his views. He
mid that he could not make any
?ontract and that all that he could
promise to do would be to try and
;et the board bf phosphate com
missioners to pass a resolution re
facing the royalty to 50 cents per
x>n, provided the amount so raised
unounted to $75,000.
This would be-subject, of course
:o the action of the Legislature and
it waa his further idea that the
royalty should be made to operate
m a sliding scale. If the price of
rock became better the royalty
mould be proportionatety raised.
'If all of the miners stop work; we
;annot help it, and I suppose we
?viii have to got some one else tb
niue in the State property. I cer
;ainly do not feel warranted in
wiping these people to such an ex
tent as to make the State break its
:aith with its bondholders.
SUFFICIENT ROYALTY OR NOTHING.
"Before I'll see the rock bring a
ruinous royalty I'll consent to
et it lie there, and before I'll con
sent to let it derive less than $75,
)00 royalty I'll let it lie there.
Hie State will not then have
uroken faith with anyone. I have
)very disposition to help these peo
ple in their trouble. The State is
n a lr^ud of co-operation with them
md it is to their interest to help
hem.
rn*EY SHAN'T MINE ON THEIR OWN
. TERMS.
"I have no desire to drive them
mt of business, but I'm afraid they
;hink that we are so poor that we
ire compelled to let them mine at
:heir own terms ; but we have not
50t there.
My idea was that we get an account
>f - hs arno unt of damages sustain
id and then by a reduction of roy
ally let them get that back. There
s now about 40,000 tons of rock
>n handjwhich would get the beno
?t of any reduction of royalty if
ve make one."
Ons thing is certain, Governor
nilman is going to stick to. his
idea that the phosphate companies
viii have to raise the $75,000 even
,f they have to pay the present $100
.oyalty, that is if 75,000 tons are
nined.]If;50,000 tons are according
0 his plan. "Tho State can make
10 argeement which would look to
1 smaller revenue and still keep
aith. .
The phosphate ?men look at
hings differently. They want some
hing definite. They want a fifty
;ent royalty for a term of years,
["hey do not want any "sliding
jcale" in theirs. They do not want
:o run the chances of making up
my deficiency by the retirement
>f any company and in the end pay
pl, when they expected to pay 50
:ents.
Judge Gary.
karolina Tribune.
When it was generally known
that Major Gary had been elected
Judge of the 5th Circuit of .S. C. a
*reat mahy colored people were
alarmed because they feared he
should be particulaly cruel to those
Df their race, who might be arraig
ned before his court. In justica
to Judge Gary, it gives us pleasure
to state that, we have known him
before ho was grown aud all through
his public life and we are satisfied
that he is one of the most humane
.md kind hearted Judges in this
State. In sentencing the prisoners,
at the last term of court for Edge
field Co., he was as kind and merci
ful as it was possible for him to
by. We will always feel sefe with
3uch men as Judge Gary upon the
Bench and we congratrlate the
colored people wherever he may
preside upon the fact that they will
have an incorruptable and kind
hearted judge, before whom they
may appear, with the full assurance
that, justice will be measued but.

A .Remarkable f ne on
Floor of Thv. iate. .
. Washington Post.
The remarkable spectacle <
Senator of the United States
tears upon the floor of the Se:
was observed yesterday af terr
when Senator Teller, of Color)
having been drawn into a disc
sion with Senator Hawley,in wi
he began to* dwell upon the sui
ing swhich would fall upon
people of his section and of
United States should the rei
bill become a law.
As he proceeded he bec?
more andmore wrought up i
pitch of intensity unlike [anyth
ever seen on the floor. He pa
up and down the narrow space
hind bis desk, earnestly gesticu
ting, while with a voice tremul
with, emotion and his eyes wet w
toai, he pictured the misery t!
he saw in the future for the peo
whom he loved. The spectacle ?
so striking and so unusual that
riveted tho attention of ev
Senator. The words poured fr<
Mr. Teller's lips in a passion
torrent, so carried away was
with his theme, and when, w
clinched fist, he denounced 1
"damnable bill," the galleries bu
forth with uppluse.
With all this there was nothi
theatrical about the scene. 1
Teller is so sincere, so honests
hostile to any form of trickery tl
every Senator felt he belier
every word he uttered and resp
ted the intensity of the feeli
which made him give away, to 1
emotions. When he had conclue]
he sank into his seat, buried 1
face in bis bands, and presen te?
living picture of the misery
had so touchingly described.
How to Kill Nut Grass.

I have seen several inquir
lately for a method of kill ing n

method of treating it. I bad abo

crop, but it would choke ont ar

propose to know why it is 'that tl

"Now, I say to gentlemen froi

interests and the rights and proi
perity of our own people ; we wi
not do that to follow the East c
to follow any living man. [AT.

[lie Union Ital Life Insurance Co.,
OP IFOK/TLAJSnU, MAUSTE
ts Policies for tie Most Liberal Now Offered to tie Ml
s the only existing Company whose policies are, or can be subject to, the
MAINE NON-FOBFEITURE LAW.
WHAT IT IS:
The Maine Non-Forfeiture law pro
tects polices from forfeiture by reason
of default of payment of premiums.'
lt provides that, after three years' pre
miums haye been paid, failure to pay
any subsequent premiums shall not
forfeit a policy, but it shall continue
in force for its full amount until the
reserve (less a small surrender charge)
upon the policy'is exhausted.
The reserve isa sum made up of por
tions of each and every premium paid
upon a policy in anticipation of its
maturity. Beginning with a small
portion of the lirst premium, it is in
creased eacn year by the addition of
each subsequent premium, and grows
larger year by year, until, at maturity,
it exactly equals the face of the policy.
When a policy is discontinued there
fore, there is in the hands of the Com
pany a reserve greater or less, accord
ing to the character and age of the
policy. Instead of permitting the Com
pany, upon non-payment of premium,
to confiscate this reserve, the Maine
Non-Forfeit ure Law requires the Com
pany to continue the policy in force
until the policy-holder receives an
equivalent for it in extended insur
ance.
SOW IT WORKS :
If a person, aged 35,. pays three
years' premiums upon a twenty pay
ment Life policy and then discontinues
payment, the policy will be continued
4 years and 257 days longer; if he pays
five premiums, and then discontinues,
the insurance will continue 7 years and
357 days longer.
If the policy is a twenty year en
I dowment, same age, three years' piy
-??fc nrill erivo an P-xtension nf 8 vears
that the policy-uuiu_
glance exactly what he is entitled to ii
he discontinues his payments at any
time.
WHAT IT HAS DONE :
The Company Has Paid Over
Two Hundred Death Claims, in
consequence of this Jaw, aggregating
in sums insured more than Four Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.
In every case there had been a de
fault in the payment of premium, and,
except for this law, the policies would
have been of little or no value. Instead
of this, the insurance in each case was
extended to the time of death, and the
Company was required to pay to the
beneficiaries under the policies the
sum of $418,335.77.
Mic of aine Law Extensions as ompare? v?ith Pal?-np Values:
It is the custom of many companies to provide
in their policies that, upon discontinuance of
payment of Premium, paid-up policies will be
given without the option of extension. This
was the practice of the Union Mutual before
the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law was enacted,
but it now substitutes for paid-up values the
more advantageous plan of extended insurance.
The object ion to the paid-up system is that the
amount of paid-up insurance which is given
upon the discontinuance of payments upon a
policy ? unless it has been in force a great many
years is insignificant, and of little or no value
as protection ; and it leaves the insured who
ceases payment without adequate insurance at
the very time he needs it the most.
The great advantage of the extended insur
ance afforded by the Maine Law over the most
liberal paid-up system is strikingly shown by
the following comparison, and it will be ob
served that the paid-up value is insignificant
in comparison with the amount actually paid
by the Union Mutual. The result of two hun
dred and twelve policies was this : \
If the insured had received paid-up
policies instead of extended in
surance, the Company would have
had to pay in settlement of the
claims only. $98,107.50
Whereas, in fact, it did pay under
the Maine Law. $41S,3J4.77
Making a difference in favor of the
beneficiaries under Two Hundred
and Twelve policies of. $320,147.2S
ho policies are free, from ALL restrictions, and incontestable after
O KT T3
grace of one month is given in tho payment of premiums.
